Thanks, Laura

Justin… I like the whiteboard idea… not sure I like the middle of the night… but that’s just me.

There’s probably no better way to do it than what has already been listed here. I’d say write out your plan/topics on a whiteboard and leave it within your eyesight at all times. That usually keeps me motivated enough to write. I also find that late night sessions, when I can’t sleep, are a very stimulating time for my brain, allowing me to write 2-3 500+ word blog posts.

Take care,

Justin

I think that “Writing a bunch in a hurry” should satisfy all of the same requirements that “Writing Anything” should: i.e., you must

1) know your audience
2) know your topic
3) have good quotes, facts, anecdotes, statistics to support it with
4) have a solid medium for delivery

Readers, writers, and everyone in between can sniff out the stuff that’s written poorly, whether it’s been written in a hurry or required bloodletting.

In other words, I think the same rules of good writing apply no matter how quickly the words flowed……

Maybe there are no “quick fixes” and “tricks” for a such a skill?
